English Dub Review: Lastman “Hang In There And Don’t Die”

DIE! MOTHER FUCKER DIE!

Overview (Spoilers Below)

Richard has the battle of his life with Gemini and wins. Meanwhile, Chubs learns of Howard’s secret, but something else is going down between the duo.

Our Take

It’s a brief recap, but you should watch this fight. Boxing is a genre not very popular in animation which is different than say TV or film where the genre is represented aplenty. What I think Lastman does is officially put the world on notice that fight sports can be a prolific genre of animation much in the same way soccer or swimming is for Japanese anime. If you’re gonna get producers, Jeremie Perin is a great place to start in terms of a director that presented a stellar and poignant demonstration on how to do animated boxing dramas.

Score
9/10
